Warning: SPOILERS for the NCIS episode “For Higher or Worse” are forward!
On the finish of the NCIS Season 22 midseason finale (which you’ll be able to stream with a Paramount+ subscription), it was revealed that Nick Torres had a secret girlfriend. Then final week, the CBS present’s first episode to air on the 2025 TV schedule revealed that stated girlfriend is certainly Robin Knight, Jessica Knight’s sister. Although Jessica was initially offended about Torres courting Robin, significantly since she was the final individual to search out out, she appeared to make peace with their relationship by the tip of “Baker’s Man.” Effectively, that turned out to not be the case, however the excellent news is that in that tonight’s NCIS episode, she legitimately got here round on these two within the midst of her and Torres happening a wild undercover operation.
Nick Torres and Jessica Knight Bought Pretend-Married
This week’s case revolved across the homicide of a profession prison named Vincent Kelso, whom Nick Torres knew as a result of it turned out he was on one more undercover op sanctioned by NCIS Director Leon Vance. This one noticed Torres being embedded within the Baltimore gang Vincent was a part of that was making faux army IDs with a purpose to steal items from Navy bases and promote them on the black market. Although the gang was run by a person named Roman Sabchek, he was taking orders from a person recognized solely as Wilk, which is Polish for ‘wolf.’
Issues took an sudden flip when Jessica went to satisfy with Torres for an replace earlier than he went again undercover, and whereas confronting her accomplice about his relationship with Robin (extra on that later), they have been noticed by Roman’s distrustful son. With the intention to sustain appearances, Jessica pretended that she and Nick have been engaged. As soon as the workforce realized that Kelso had been an informant for Baltimore PD, and additional found that Roman was speaking old fashioned with Wilk utilizing a pager and PalmPilot, they staged Torres and Jessica’s “wedding ceremony” to make use of as a distraction in order that McGee might discreetly clone the machine as he pretended to be a photographer.
Lengthy story brief, Roman was poisoned throughout the wedding ceremony, however McGee did efficiently clone the PalmPilot. This led to them studying that Wilk was a lady named Lana, who’d been hitting on Torres on the bar the place the gang was headquartered. Lana was apprehended earlier than she might escape, and the gang’s deliberate heist was foiled. All of it labored out ultimately… nicely, aside from Vance, who was pissed about how a lot the faux wedding ceremony price.
Jessica Got here To Phrases With Torres And Robin’s Relationship
Though Jessica Knight loves her sister, she’s made it clear over the course of her time on NCIS that she doesn’t approve of how Robin conducts her romantic relationships. So when she realized that Torres had a drawer for Robin to make use of at his place (albiet a “small” one), this involved Jessica, as Robin had been engaged many occasions and was already predicting that the connection would inevitably collapse. This time although, there are two events that she cared about, and she or he didn’t need both of them to go their separate methods heartbroken.
Robin didn’t take it nicely when Jessica voiced her considerations, after which the scenario turned extra difficult when Robin was introduced in to assist plan the faux wedding ceremony. Nick additionally repeatedly assured Jessica there wasn’t something to fret about, and thankfully, she got here round by the tip of “For Higher or Worse.” Whereas nonetheless in bride mode, she gave a toast on the wedding ceremony reception that disguised her sharing that she was fallacious about Torres and Robin’s relationship. Her considerations in the end got here from a spot of worry for herself, as she didn’t wish to lose both individual in the event that they broke up.
Now that this hurdle has been cleared, I’d prefer to suppose Torres and Robin’s relationship will grow to be even stronger. Hopefully we’ll get to see them as a fully-fleshed out couple later in NCIS Season 22, as there have been too many shifting items to make that occur in “For Higher or Worse.” On the very least, if they’ve to interrupt up, please don’t let if occur off digicam.
